A Road Paved with Gleaming White Bones
"General Ye, the Taiping Army's morale has plummeted to rock bottom. Why not launch a surprise attack tonight?"
Qin Yan was ready to kick a man when he was down.
If we don't beat him to a pulp, we'll be doing a disservice to his two amazing performances.
"I had been considering this matter as well, but Windraising Town is high in the west and low in the north, making it quite difficult to attack."
Ye Yingshan frowned slightly. Hu Zhanfang was no fool and would definitely be on guard.
Individual actions could very well reverse a favorable situation.
"Don't worry, with my Archery, I can smash the city gate from three thousand meters away."
At that time, our army will be able to advance into the town without any obstacles!
With the city gates breached, the enemy will surely flee in panic.
We can then divide our forces into three groups. I will lead the main attack on the city, while the other two groups will pursue and kill the enemy after they escape!
Qin Yan shared his thoughts.
Ye Yingshan's eyes lit up; if Qin Yan could break through the city gate...
Therefore, this plan has great potential.
Inside the tent, Ye Yingshan paced back and forth, pondering the success or failure of this plan!
"Alright! Let's attack the city tonight!"
Ye Yingshan gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and nodded heavily.
"Next, I will put the most elite Fengshan Battalion under your command. It can be said to be the most elite force under my command."
The success or failure of this plan depends on you.
"Rest assured, General Ye. This humble officer will be the first to charge into battle!"
Qin Yan said solemnly.
Under the cover of night!
Qin Yan led the Fengshan Battalion and his five hundred light cavalry, stealthily approaching Yangfeng Town. Along the way, Qin Yan found the hidden sentries and shot them one by one.
Everyone held their breath.
The enemy camp is right in front of us.
At this moment, an iron arrow was already nocked on the bowstring!
Break!
Qin Yan thought to himself, "I mustn't shout it out!"
Boom!
A tremendous roar echoed in the night as Qin Yan blasted a huge hole in the sturdy door with a single arrow.
The crossbeam was also blasted to pieces!
With several loud bangs, he smashed the entire gate apart, leaving it completely defenseless!
"Kill!"
With Qin Yan's command!
Tang Xianzong and others had long forgotten it.
They charged towards the enemy lines with near-suicidal ferocity.
Leading the charge was Li Fu, a man of great martial arts skills, who was rendered unable to use them.
Now that they have the opportunity, they're even more frantic.
Seeing this, Qin Yan had no intention of competing with his subordinates for credit in battle; after he had eaten his fill, he should at least give his men a share!
His contribution would be significant if he could break through the enemy lines.
Holding the Ink Sun Bow, arrows rained down!
He fired wildly at the enemy, instantly killing anyone who dared to peek out from the city gate. This time, he did not choose the extremely cruel method of blasting them to death.
Instead, they nailed these people to the city gate, using their cries of terror to intimidate others.
In a short while, dozens of people had been nailed to the wall, and their miserable state made the rebels dare not approach the city wall at all!
As for those highly skilled generals, Qin Yan would not hesitate to shoot them dead.
These people are extremely powerful and a significant threat, making them a priority target for his elimination.
Five hundred light cavalry and the Fengshan Battalion were the first to charge into the enemy camp, directly causing the entire Taiping Army to fall into chaos!
Qin Yan stood atop the city wall, overlooking the entire military camp; each arrow he fired took away a large portion of the enemy.
His powerful mental perception allowed him to accurately pinpoint the location of every general and martial arts master.
The Magnetic Field emanating from these people is simply too obvious.
He instantly killed anyone below the Grandmaster with his arrows!
The loud shouts of battle startled Hu Zhanfeng, who was wide awake!
"The enemy has attacked?"
After hearing the loud noise, Hu Zhanfeng realized something was wrong.
At this moment, he wanted to gather his generals and try to retake the city gate!
But at this moment, he was dismayed to find that his soldiers had suffered two consecutive humiliating defeats.
They had long since lost the will to fight.
Hu Zhanfeng discovered that, apart from his personal guards, he could hardly command the soldiers under him!
This sent a chill down his spine.
Ultimately, it was a hastily assembled team, and their continuous victories inflated their confidence.
However, when faced with truly tough challenges, that confidence is immediately shattered.
All the shortcomings were exposed.
The discipline is lax, making them difficult to command.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, Hu Zhanfeng could only issue the order with a heavy heart.
His string of victories made him lose his guard!
He never dreamed that the enemy, with fewer than 20,000 men, would dare to attack his camp.
He also hadn't anticipated that Qin Yan would smash the door down in this way!
This meant that the entire Taiping Army was completely unable to defend the city gates!
"It's not that easy to run away."
Qin Yan's cold voice rang out.
"Oh no, it's Qin Yan!"
Hu Zhanfeng a chill in his heart; that name haunted him like a nightmare.
This caused his previously smooth-sailing situation to plummet to rock bottom.
"Hu Shuai, run!"
The guards faced Qin Yan as if he were facing a formidable enemy!
"Run!"
Qin Yan sneered. Hu Zhanfeng was a general who led troops, but his strength was only that of an Innate Martial Artist!
What if they get away!
Then Qin Yan wouldn't need to be in the business anymore.
Wielding the Zhangfeng and Green-Scaled Twin Sabers, he charged towards Hu Zhanfeng's location with unparalleled speed!
Wherever they passed, a flurry of flashing blades and bloodshed ensued.
The slash was so fast that everything in its path was cut down!
Broken corpses flew everywhere.
Hu Zhanfeng watched as his personal guards fell one by one, like wheat being harvested.
Qin Yan's strength terrified him!
His opponent's Archery were terrifying, but his speed and swordsmanship were simply despair-inducing.
"You think you can kill me Hu Zhanfeng, so easily?"
Knowing he had nowhere to escape, Hu Zhanfeng gripped his spear tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
They charged towards Qin Yan!
Pfft!
Qin Yan casually killed one person, then looked at Hu Zhanfeng and smiled coldly!
He saw the spear gripping his throat almost touching him, and immediately dodged away.
The long sword in his hand attacked the opponent's hands in a tricky arc.
With two flashes of cold light, Qin Yan severed the opponent's tendons.
Battle-Axe Kick!
A close-range, sweeping kick!
The terrifying force broke both of the opponent's legs.
The gap between the two sides was like a chasm, and Qin Yan subdued his opponent without lifting a finger.
Hu Zhanfeng gave a bitter smile. "I've lost."
"Heaven is unjust!"
Just when it seemed the Great Li Dynasty was doomed, this monster appeared before them.
Throughout history, chaotic times have always produced heroes!
"Qin Yan, with your strength, why bother serving the dog court? You should follow Heavenly King Hong. With his magnanimity, you will surely be made a king in the future."
"At that time, we will establish a brand new nation, allowing all people to live in peace and prosperity."
Qin Yan scoffed upon hearing this. "Hong Sheng's intentions are quite good; he wants to overthrow the Great Li Dynasty with some scoundrels."
You are not worthy!
How can a group of thugs who only know how to burn, kill, and loot bring peace to the people of the world?
This was a rebellion destined to fail!
Unless that Heavenly King Hong can suddenly realize his mistakes, restrain his subordinates, and embark on the path of a king.
Otherwise, at best he would be a warlord in a chaotic era.
It is the beginning of a new era, not the end.
"Consider this my military merit for promotion, and use it to pave the way for my future!"
Qin Yan coldly gripped the other man's neck and said, word by word.
